Since I found it very difficult to find the instructions online, I thought I’d share a visual step-by-step tutorial based on the video we watched. The neat thing about this bracelet is that it is completely reversible! And, because it’s thicker than most Rainbow Loom bracelets, it fits my son’s all-boy style. My son wanted a “chunkier,” more boyish bracelet so we perused their channel and found this awesome Loch Ness Monster Bracelet. Once we “mastered” that bracelet, it was time to put our creativity to the test.

Since I am a very visual person, I found that watching video tutorials on Rainbow Loom’s YouTube Channel was very helpful, particularly when “finishing” the bracelet. The first bracelet we created was a 2-color Criss-Cross Quadfish Bracelet using my daughter’s favorite colors: Purple and Pink. Not having any experience with the original Rainbow Loom, I started with the one of the project tutorials included in the kit.

The Monster Tail loom is a smaller, more portable loom that still offers a lot of creativity (and is for both boys and girls!). For only $6.54 at Walmart, you’ll get the Monster Tail Loom, Hook, and enough rubber bands and C-clips to make plenty of bracelets. While my son has been involved with trading and even making bracelets with his friends, he never really wanted a loom until this one, since the “monster” in the title screams boy! One of the main draws that compelled me to purchase 2 kits over the summer for my kids was the price. In search of road trip activities that my son could work on while we took the 8+ hour drive to Tucson, I found an awesome, completely portable Monster Tail kit by Rainbow Loom. And I hope they teach other people.”Īnne said, “I hope you enjoy this tutorial.If you can believe it, we managed to stave off the Rainbow Loom craze until this past Summer. I hope it makes them feel happy and excited when they are able to make one. Before I teach them, they feel like they won’t be able to do it. On the subject of teaching bracelet-making, Anne comments, “I like to see how excited people are when they make a bracelet. Along with teaching several friends, she also was asked to give instruction at a local Rainbow Loom workshop event. “I’ve given them to my friends, special-needs people, doctors and nurses when my grandparents were in the hospital, the elderly people where I volunteer, and even random people who see the bracelets and like them.”Īnne has been making bracelets for about a year and a half, learning from videos online. “I like making bracelets because I can give them away to people,” Anne says. Using small rubber bands, a Rainbow Loom and a hook, she’s found a simple way to bring joy to others.

Anne Travers, a 7th grade student of Mother of Divine Grace, shares a hobby of hers, bracelet-making, in a video tutorial.
